  The best-selling author of The Long Haul returns with the story of ditching his truck to seek his fortune … in hemp. 
   
  After decades as a long-haul trucker, Finn Murphy left the road and settled in Boulder County, Colorado. Before long he noticed that many of his neighbors were captivated by the prospect of vast riches in “the Hemp Space.” When hemp was legalized, after eighty years in federal exile, Colorado  
  became the center of a hemp growing and processing boom. Figuring he’d harvest some of that easy money, Murphy bought a thirty-six-acre farm. What could go wrong? Well, pretty much everything. … 
   
  Rocky Mountain High is the comic chronicle of a wild year as Murphy follows his Great American Dream, gradually losing his shirt but not his spirit. Pivoting away from growing hemp himself, he decides to make himself a middleman. He builds drying sheds the size of football fields. He battles with  
  freezing temperatures and even colder bankers. And he assembles an eclectic crew of workers, including the wry and vastly talented Manuel, the business savvy Pierce, and a scruffy army of “trimmigrants”—specialized farm laborers who roam the country pursuing (or not) their own American Dreams.  
  Pretty soon, Murphy is burning through his cash and skirmishing with the mercurial denizens who inhabit the Wild West of the hemp market. 
   
  Told with Murphy’s trademark wit, keen eye for character, and sharp insights intothe hardscrabble society around him, Rocky Mountain High is an inside look at the alluring world of the hemp boom and a masterful tale of one entrepreneur’s misadventures.

  In the book, you'll explore how crushing levels of student debt, consecutive financial crises, and an alarming uptick in depression, substance abuse, and suicide are combining to significantly damage the potential of millennials everywhere. You'll also find concrete strategies—rooted in developmental psychology—to counteract those negative influences. 
   
   
   
  Getting Over Ourselves offers: insights into why "life hacks," productivity seminars, and more "adulting" are not the solutions to the issues faced by the millennial generation; frameworks that reject the idea that there is a separate, solitary self in need of constant improvement and connect you with your deeper humanity; and effective techniques for fending off burnout and ways to move beyond the unsatisfactory status quo. An essential and timely work that belongs in the libraries of millennials everywhere, Getting Over Ourselves is the antidote to the skin-deep, ineffective "self-help" material that you've been looking for.

  CHAPTER 1: Getting Started with Ethereum 
  At its core, Ethereum is a decentralized platform that facilitates smart contracts and decentralized applications. Vitalik Buterin came up with the idea for Ethereum in late 2013 and it went live on July 30, 2015. Blockchain, the technology that Ethereum is based on, is a distributed ledger system that keeps track of transactions across many computers in a way that is safe, clear, and immutable. On the Ethereum network, each transaction is saved in a block through proof-of-stake consensus. 
    
  Ethereum's main innovation is its ability to make and carry out smart contracts. These smart contracts are computer programs where the terms of a deal between parties is written directly into the code. When certain conditions programmed in are met, they automatically carry out specified actions. Nick Szabo came up with this revolutionary idea in the 1990s. There is no need for middlemen because these contracts take action automatically when certain conditions are met. This feature could completely change industries automating complicated tasks and by letting people make transactions without trusting each other.

  A New Way to Think - Your Guide...

  Roger L. Martin

  Over a stellar career, Roger Martin has advised the CEOs of some of the world's most successful companies. From the beginning, he noted that almost every executive he talked to had a "model"—a framework or way of thinking that guided their strategy and activities. But these models tended to become automatic, so much so that when one didn't work, the typical response was just to apply it again—with greater enthusiasm. 
   
   
   
  Martin took a fresh, critical approach to helping. When company leaders came to him with fundamental questions—How do you decide where to play and how to win? What is the key to shaping and changing corporate culture? How can you design a successful, sustainable innovation process?—his first response was to break the spell of the current model with a memo articulating a new way to think about the problem at hand and a more powerful and effective way to overcome it. 
   
   
   
  Over time, these ideas worked their way into Martin's many Harvard Business Review articles. Now, for the first time, they appear together in A New Way to Think. With his trademark incisive intellect and clarity, Martin covers the entire breadth of the management landscape—illuminating the true nature of competition, explaining how company success revolves around customers, revealing how strategy and execution are really the same thing, and much more.
